What do YOU want to do? Any reason you are set on a FAANG? Have you considered embedded firmware development?

What do YOU want to do? Any reason you are set on a FAANG?
Have you considered embedded firmware development?
- ultrasounder 8y agoThat's definitely crossed my mind. But my direct experience working on embedded projects have been related to writing low level I2C/SPI/Other serial parallel protocol driver for peripherals. Don't think I want to get stuck in that either.
- sick_of_web_dev 8y agodamn I would love to do just that and get paid for it. You know what, let's just switch jobs because I hate the SW industry and wish I could go into HW :-)
- ultrasounder 8y agoEmbedded firmware though has gotten a lot easier (availability of cheap ARM boards with gone of flash and RAM), FOSS tool chains, there is still a mountain to climb wrt understanding the underlying hardware. Timing, keeping things synchronized while being within the power budget and stuff like that. Take a few actual EE courses or better yet if u can afford get a degree and specialize in EE. For starters can't recommend the EDX EE1,EE2 and then thr Embedded course from UTAustin also available on EDx enough. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. My email is in my profile.
